I actually did a search before you gave the link but unfortunately, I find it confusing.

What's confusing, exactly?

There's no archive function..
Just use File - Export - Messages - WLM
and save to an empty folder.
Then look to see if the messages are there, and delete the messages in WLM.

You can import them later via File - Import - Messages - WLM

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

From the link above, what does it mean by import later?

This is how my email client is set up. For my saved emails, Its under "Folders on my computer." I access it using this client. I was wondering if I can do the same with Windows Live Mail.

You have had plenty of tips - have you tried using online chat/tech support with MSN as it might be an undocumented feature that rest of us aren't familiar with? I bailed out of paid MSN and transitioned my MSN into a Live account 5 years ago & never looked back, it's now fully converted/upgraded to an Outlook account, essentially a free Microsoft account that dance & run on Windows 8 - it has great options for customization, and I can do a single Sign-Onand toggle between @live, @msn and @outlook accounts, and their aliases which can be optionally setup as folders to screen for spams, junks & marketing types, etc. - and forwarded (i.e. to Gmail - and, vice versa ...)

The best way to learn is to practice & explore, get familiarize with it by using it - until you get comfortable with it and then find new/better ways of configuring it to make lives easier in the informational age. Life isn't about living in fear of losing, it's about facing it head on and run with it - you learn to overcome challenges, obstacles, danger and take advantage of it, and grow.

This is primariy a FT sub-forum and not a $S forum, there are sites out there - please google & join those too. One final tip on this topic for you - it's obvious to most but not all, setup a free secondary or additional $S Outlook/MSN/Live account and you can forward all/some/selected ones from one account to another, leaving copies on the "other" account alone - that will minimize the risk of accidental delete, until you click on it affirmatively. The email messages will be kept on the server/cloud storage - and better as I do not have to worry about maintaining the local shared drive folders & storage space running low, or crashes, etc.

Nothing is foolproof and everything is as foolproof as we designate it to be ... Good luck ! ;)
